Answer:
True.
Step-by-step explanation:
"The Outsiders" is a novel written by Susan Hinton. The work addresses the lives of young people within a serious social inequality that separates young people from the city into two gangs formed from the social conditions of each one. The group of rich and privileged young people is called Socs and rivals the poor and economically vulnerable youth gang, the Greasers.
The rivalry between the two gangs is extremely violent and compromises the physical integrity of everyone involved, this can be seen in the whole plot, but mainly in the main conflict of the narrative where Ponyboy and Johnny (greasers) fled from a fight they had against Socs when Johnny killed Bob, who had previously broken him up and who narrowly missed Ponyboy.
